You'll want to contact some of the IB tech support lists or newsgroups for
general IB issues. More below.

Put a line like
ia.iatest.com 209.208.184.139
in your "hosts" file, then connect using IB_WISQL to
ia.iatest.com:/indiaabroad/ia.gdb
Direct IP numbers in the connection string don't work unless the IP stack
fools you by querying the name from the IP, then using the name to connect
and do a lookup again for the IP number.

Also, ensure you rebuilt IBO package from scratch if you upgraded it.
Incorrect installation of new vrsions of IBO cause weird problems.
